Had a great dinner with family. The view is always so beautiful and our food is delicious. Loved the different clam chowders, oh, and the deviled eggs were so good. Got a few pictures before the food was all gone

Amazing seafood right on the water! Stopped in on a Saturday evening and got a table in about 30 minutes! Chefs special mushroom appetizer was great! We also tried the grilled seafood combo and the taco and chowder. Both were really good! Service was quick.

We had a clam chowder bread bowl and a southwest chicken and corn chowder. We first sat at the bar and then moved to a window seat. It was a pleasant experience with delicious chowders.

Duke’s is the spot for seafood. If you have a second job and a sure thing on a nearby horse race, then come here—because that’s about what it’ll take to pay for a whole meal. But dang—it’s worth it. This is a once-in-a-long-while spots unless you’re...Read More

It was my first time going to Dukes and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and made sure I had great service. I had their clam chower which was delicious and the Seattle's best crab cake sandwich. I highly recommend both.

Absolutely incredible seafood. There was quite a wait and a miscommunication about who was supposed to serve our table, but once that was sorted out everything went perfectly. I can not recommend the cod tacos enough, best I've had. Additionally, as someone who doesn't get...Read More

I like all the Duke’s locations I’ve visited but this one is my favorite by far! Their deck is literally over the water, the view is fantastic, the staff is even better. Plenty of easy parking, what’s not to like! Highly recommend!!
